I understand that RL obligations and happenings make it hard to get to things, so I want to suggest that you guys get a helper mod who can handle everything that doesn't have to do with the plot-like things such as bonuses and activity checks (and more), so that the head mods can focus on the more important things, such as game questions and plot investigations. I think it would help lessen the amount of work you guys have, since you're both very busy with IRL things and sometimes you just don't want to do anything when you're done with work (which is fair).
I know Ori brought it up before, but the format of mods replying to the actual IC investigation thread itself is a great idea, so I hope that will be implemented this month, since it looks like there will have to be some mod input from the looks of it... gestures to volcano crisis
Though I also kinda want to reiterate that while investigations are nice to have and that everyone has different availability, can something be done about the more time-sensitive investigations and how long they seem to stretch on? Yes, we have until the end of the month/before next log goes up, but imo, I'd rather not have such a time-sensitive thing (or at least to be implied to be time-sensitive and/or important) last all the way until that deadline, or close to it because that could be a little stressful for the people involved and then trying to wrap everything up all of a sudden. This particularly struck me when I saw the investigations post pop out of the dreamwidth reading list, which meant two weeks had passed since the day it was posted, and it felt like not much had progressed at the time. For something that seemed pretty important, I thought we would at least have at least one response a day, but we ended up shoving a bulk of the responses in very few several days throughout the process when we were like "!!! the mods are available now, everyone gather right this second so we can progress".
opinions are all my own and don't reflect the playerbase as a whole, etc
